Today, we proudly celebrate the compassionate caregivers of St. Tammany Health System — the nurses, physicians, therapists, technicians, support staff, volunteers and family members who show up every day with skill, empathy and heart.

Caregiving is at the core of our healing mission. It’s found in the comforting words shared at a bedside, the extra time spent answering questions, the teamwork behind the scenes and the unwavering commitment to putting patients first. ❤️

Through community events and outreach, St. Tammany Health System’s heart care team is offering free screenings, stroke risk assessments and expert heart health advice all month long — helping people learn more about prevention and early detection.

🎙️ New year, new you? We’ve all heard it but let’s be real, it’s not always that simple.

Now that the new year is in full swing (and those resolutions have been seriously tested), we’re digging into what actually works when it comes to nutrition. In this episode, STHS clinical dietitians and friends of the show Jessica Greer and Sarah Brignac help us separate nutrition fact vs. fiction, breaking down popular diets, what’s worth trying and what deserves a healthy dose of skepticism.

✨ Spoiler: no gimmicks, just real talk and practical advice.
